John Keehler

The Richards Group Group Head, Digital Strategy

John has always been ahead of the curve. He began his digital career in 1997. In the eons, digitally speaking, since John started out, he has worked on everything from design to customer experience, front-end development and strategy for all kinds of enterprises from tiny startups to major agencies.

As an in-demand resident expert in digital strategy and emerging technology, John has consulted with clients in myriad categories, including The Home Depot, Chrysler, Travelocity, Chick-fil-A and Walmart, to name a few. 

A popular figure in the online marketing community in Texas and beyond, John has been named to the Dallas Business Journal’s “40 Under 40” roster of influential young leaders. He teaches MBA candidates at Southern Methodist University and he mentors entrepreneurs at Tech Wildcatters, named by Forbes, among others, as the top B2B startup accelerator in the country.

When not inspiring new generations of tech stars and building digital ecosystems for our clients, John can’t seem to stay away from the Internet. He has hosted a popular podcast, written a notable digital marketing blog, and dreams of the day when he can unplug long enough to get some fly fishing time in on his favorite stream. Virtual Reality fly fishing, we’re assuming.

Meet John at:

Panel: Beyond the Cyberbucks: Blockchain and the Transparent Relationship
Date/Time: 10:45 AM

Not all of blockchain's promise revolves around monetary transactions. The technology also seems able to streamline, equalize and make more transparent many kinds of exchanges of value. Agreements between parties, authentication of goods, privacy controls, and more could become links in a blockchained economy. What are the implications or promise for the open ledger in the relationship of businesses with one another and directly with their customers?
